The name Marilyn Manson is a combination of the names of two American cultural icons: actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson. But it also suggests danger: like both, Manson is a sex symbol and a mass murderer who became an icon of America's culture war.

His stage persona is often described as esoteric and freaky, a combination of both of these polarities that's matched by his acerbic songcraft and whip-smart intellect. He's a master of culture jamming and industry trolling, but he never shies away from character assassination attempts, a glass of absinthe in his hand or the hint of danger in his persona.

Despite his rabid fan base, Manson has been accused of sexual abuse by multiple women, most recently Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood. Her story shocked the music world, but she wasn't the only one.

A few weeks ago, the singer's ex-girlfriend Phoebe Bridgers tweeted about her experiences with Manson and said she thought he was "a horrible frat boy." Then in early March, a 16-year-old girl told Rolling Stone that she'd been abused by Manson at his home in California, adding that he had bragged about having a rape room there.

It was a story of abuse that resonated with Manson's fans, who hoped it would serve as an example to their own children. But the alleged victim's mother told Lifeline that her daughter was scared to tell her about Manson's treatment because of how bad it looked on television.

But now, with her daughter in the hospital after a suicide attempt, she is urging people to speak up and help those who need it. She's even teamed up with the rapper Lil Uzi Vert to launch an anti-abuse campaign.

The t-shirt has had a moment: Demna Gvasalia showed it in his Vetements Fall 2018 collection, and Justin Bieber has worn it onstage during his Purpose tour (he posted the photo on Instagram). Now, fashion house Killstar have partnered with Manson to release a line of clothing that pays homage to the iconic rocker, including his logos and iconic symbols.

He's an impish, twisted, dark and dangerous rocker who has captivated the world for over two decades. He is a culture war agitator for the rebellious, nihilistic side of American music, willing to jab and frighten in order to take the fight to those power structures that seemed to keep teenagers in their place.

As  marilynmansonmerch , he made a splash in the '90s with David Lynch's Lost Highway, then starred in a variety of minor roles and cameos. He is now starring in a crime drama - Let Me Make You a Martyr, a collaboration with Sons of Anarchy co-star Mark Boone Jr.
